This year's orientation combines usual and new elements.  As in the past, students are led on an exploration of the Library's lovely and inspiring environment, learning about its cool collections and useful services.  This is combined with a short practical hands-on session where they learn how to login to a Library account, reserve study rooms, etc.  What's new then? Tasks & Ice Cream.

 

To encourage students to engage actively with Library services and collections, those attending the tour and hands-on session are given a Task Card with 5 tasks.  After performing each task, students get a confirmation stamp on their card.  With all 5 stamps, they can redeem an ice cream coupon from the G/F Information Desk (limited supply, act fast!)  Details are on this year's New UG Orientation page.

 

Coupons will be redeemed at the Ice Cream event, to be held in the Refreshment Zone on Friday, September 5th from 11am to 4:30pm.  It will be a great chance to meet other new students, chat with Library staff, eat yummy ice cream, and enjoy the sweetness of engaged learning.
